Chapter 1: Secrets (Amy's news is too obvious)
Summary- When it's revealed to Ephram that Madison is pregnant, who will he choose her or Amy?
Ephram's POV "Hey sweetie!" I greeted Amy. I had come her house to hang out and watch Spiderman 2. It had justcomeout on DVD and I was really excited to see it.
"Hey Ephram," she said, "I got some news for you"
She didn't seem too thrilled. "Okay," I asked, "What is
it"
"You look good today." She was pacing back and forth, avoiding eye
contact.
"Why, thank you. You look pretty today too, but what is it you wanted
to tell me?" I asked.
"Huh? What are you talking about?" she asked. She leaned in and kissed
me.
"Come on, Amy tell me." I urged.
She sighed. "I don't know how to tell you this, but… I'm pregnant.
Her voice was at a whisper. "It's yours." She added.
I was at a loss for words. A million things were running through my
mind.
"How are we going to take care of a baby?" I spurted out.
"I don't know Ephram," Amy cried, "I don't know."
Tears were running from her eyes as she collapsed into my arms. Not
knowing what to do, I just held her.
"Are you sure you are pregnant?" I asked, "Sometimes those home
pregnancy tests are wrong."
"I went to the doctor a couple days ago and the tests were positive,
I'm due
in December"
"We are too young to be parents." She cried.
"We can always put it up for adoption"
"No, I think I want to keep it. Something inside is telling me too."
"Whatever you want to do, I'll be there for you and the baby." I
didn't have a clue what I was getting myself into, but I should have
thought
of
that before we had sex.
Amy smiled weakly, knowing there was a long road ahead of us.
"We have to tell our parents soon," I said, sighing.
"Let's go tell your dad first." she suggested.
"Okay" I said. I knew he was certainly not going to take this well. I
walked out with Amy. We went to my car knowing that life was never
going to
be
the same.
The travel to my house seemed like an eternity. My head was turning in
circles. I was going to be a dad, a DAD! The thought scared me half to
death. My stomach was doing flips.
Once we arrived at my house, Amy and I held hands and walked up to the house.
"Are you ready to do this?" I asked.
"No, but we have to"
Just as we opened the door to the house, my stomach did a flip flop.
"Are you alright Ephram"
Before I could answer, I made a beeline to the bathroom, spilling my
lunch
to the porcelin god. After rinsing my mouth out and splashing some
water on
my face, I made my way back downstairs.
I could hear Amy and my father in the kitchen talking.
"Hey dad" I called.
"In the kitchen," he replied, "Amy is attemping to save my spaghetti"
"We have to tell you something that you arent going to like," I
explained
"Did you put another dent in the car again?" he asked. " because if you
did
our insurance will fix it."
"You might want to sit down," Amy suggested.
Amy and I looked at each other before saying at the say time,
"We are going to have a baby"
"What? Did I hear right you're going to have a baby?" Andy asked. "Is
this some lame joke to get back at me? I'm not falling for it. You two
are
too
funny."
"Amy is pregnant," I confirmed, "The baby is due in December."
My dad's face turned a pale white. He quickly got up and left us in the kitchen.
"Now what do we do"
"Wait, I guess," I suggested.
